58-630: Formula 2 is designed to make racing relatively affordable for the teams and to make it an ideal training ground for life in Formula One. The series is a spec series ; all teams are required to use the same chassis, engine, and tire supplier. Formula 2 mainly races on European and Middle Eastern circuits, but has appearances at other international race tracks as well, such as the Albert Park Circuit in Australia. The Formula 2 chassis

116-678: A development class , the classic example being America's Cup 12-metre class , or to the box rule used, for example, in the TP 52 class. A further category, the formula based class setup, is sometimes confused with one design. The Mini Transat 6.50 , the Volvo Open 70 monohull, the large ORMA trimaran, and the Formula 18 racing beach catamaran are the exponents of the formula approach. Class-legal boats race each other without any handicap calculations in both setups. However, under one design

174-438: A racing class that consists of just one model or design of a sailboat . In one-design racing, the first boat to finish wins the race. This is contrasted with handicap racing, where time is added or subtracted from the finishing times based on design factors and mathematical formulas to determine the winner. In between One-design and handicap racing, a number of other approaches exist. One-design classes can be contrasted with

232-465: A general rule, the tolerances are strictest in smaller boats like dinghy classes and small keelboats. In some cases the tolerances are specified in a confidential Building Specification and often everything is designed and produced at the same factory or a very few factories. Examples are the Laser , Melges 24 , and several small keelboats designed by Nathanael Greene Herreshoff, such as the 12½ . In others

290-472: A grid penalty for the session. Turbochargers were introduced at the start of the 2018 season . The turbo configuration is single-turbocharged and produces up to 1.5  bar (22  psi ) of boost pressure.

Since 2011, XAP Technology exclusively provides the XAP single-seater F2 steering wheel as well as the XAP SX steering wheel dash display for all FIA Formula 2 Championship cars. The XAP steering wheel features 6 buttons in the front with 5 paddles (DRS, gear shift, and clutch) in the back of

464-509: A “true” spec series. The same applies to the Super Formula series. All teams compete in nearly identical Dallara SF23 models, but use engines supplied from Honda and Toyota , preventing it from being a true spec series. There are two primary methods of competition in sailboat racing : One-design and handicap racing (e.g. Portsmouth Yardstick , Performance Handicap Racing Fleet and Leading Yard Stick ). One design refers to

522-428: Is 130,000 rpm but cannot exceed 125,000 rpm due to lower turbo boost pressure. All Formula 2 cars currently use ordinary unleaded racing gasoline as fuel (similar to commercial vehicle unleaded street gasoline), which has been the de facto standard in second tier single-seater formula racing since the introduction of GP2 Series in 2005. Since the start of the 2005 GP2 Series season, Elf has exclusively continued to be

580-502: Is a 3.4 litres (207 cubic inches ) V6 turbocharged direct injection four-stroke piston Otto cycle 620 hp fuel-efficient engine jointly developed, built, assembled, produced, maintained, and tuned by Mecachrome and Teos Engineering.

The numbering system in the FIA Formula 2 Championship is currently based on the previous season's team standings (similar to the Formula One 1996–2013 numbering system) except for the number 13, which has been used since

928-415: Is their cornering and braking capabilities. This is due primarily to the amount of downforce the cars produce. Formula 2 cars can produce as much as 3.9 g of lateral acceleration and 3.6 g of braking force. This compares to around 2.6 lateral G for Formula 3. A Porsche Carrera Cup car, a production-based racing car with large front and rear wings, produces a maximum of around 1.7 lateral g. As an example of

986-572: Is usually shown by his final standing in a contest. What could be more indicative of this when pilots are flying identical sailplanes with identical performance. One-design competition is the sure test of soaring skill." Other one-design gliders have included those made in Russia by Aviastroitel , in Poland by Warsztaty Szybowcowe Orlik , and Germany, where for example the DFS Olympia Meise

1044-612: The Drag Reduction Systems (DRS) were introduced with the purpose of overtaking maneuver assist by tilting the upper-element rear wing while approaching the opponent less than a second away by activating the DRS paddle behind the steering wheel. The upper-element rear wing angle is the same as a Formula One car , which has over 40 degrees of angle. In the event of rainy conditions, Drag Reduction Systems are automatically deactivated for safety reasons. Starting in 2005 (under

1102-523: The GP2 Series name), Formula 2 cars were powered by 4.0 litres (244 cubic inches ) V8, four-stroke piston, Otto cycle unleaded gasoline-burning, prototype production-based, naturally-aspirated engines, produced by Mecachrome . Per Formula 2 rules, the engines sold for no more than €70,000 and were rev-limited to 10,000 rpm. They produced around 612  hp (456  kW ; 620  PS ) and weighed up to 148  kg (326  lb ).

1218-555: The 1970s with the introduction of laminate construction using fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) and mold building technology. This process allowed the mass production of identical hulls of virtually any size at a lower price. The one-design design idea was created by Thomas Middleton of the Shankill Corinthian Club located 10 miles (16 km) south of Dublin, Ireland in 1887. He proposed a class of double ended open dinghies of simple clincher construction in pine with

In medium- to large-sized boat classes, One design would refer to conformance to a standard specification , with the possibility of alterations being allowed as long as they remained within certain tolerances. Examples of this are the Dragon , J/24 , Etchells , H-boat and the Farr 40 . After

1334-433: The 2011 change for Formula 1, Pirelli is now the sole tyre supplier for the series. The FIA Formula 2 Championship runs different compounds and sizes as F1 since 2017 (due to the fact that Formula 1's 2017–present tyres are wider, the FIA Formula 2 Championship carried over the pre-2017 Pirelli F1 tyres). The front tyre size is 245/660-R13 (9.6/26-R13) and the rear tyre size is 325/660-R13 (12.8/26-R13) and would be used until

The seat belts of all FIA Formula 2 cars are supplied by OMP Racing since

1624-554: The FIA standard Premier FT5 tank with the capacity up to 125 litres. Refuelling during a race is currently banned due to safety and cost. The suspension of all FIA Formula 2 Championship cars is upper and lower steel wishbones, pushrod operated, coupled with twin Koni dampers and torsion bars suspension (front) and spring suspension (rear), similar to current Formula One car suspension. The steering actuation system of all FIA Formula 2 Championship cars are manual, rack and pinion without

1682-465: The Feature race during Friday's qualifying session receives an additional 2 points. In each race, one point will be awarded to the driver who achieves the fastest lap time, provided they were in the top 10 positions of the final race classification. The maximum number of points a driver can score at any round will be 39. A count-back system is used to decide the places of drivers with equal points in

1740-592: The IndyCar is faster (on road courses). IndyCar average and top speeds around superspeedways are far higher than achieved in circuit racing. Spec series One-design racing is a racing method which may be adopted in sports using complex equipment, whereby all vehicles have identical or very similar designs or models, avoiding the need for a handicap system. One-make racing series (also known as spec racing series) are racing series in which all competitors race with identical or very similar vehicles from

1798-521: The Mecachrome V634 Turbo engine is revolutionary digital inductive. The fuel-mass flow restrictor rate of the second-generation FIA Formula 2 Championship engine is roughly rated at 105  kg / h (231  lb /h).

Conversely the Howth 17 , designed just four years later by Sir Walter H. Boyd of Howth , Co. Dublin is still actively raced and is the oldest one-design racing keelboat still sailing as designed. While fifteen of the current fleet were built from 1898 to 1914, new boats can still be added, most recently in 2017. As

1914-639: The advantages of one-design to the sport of competitive glider racing . The most successful of these has been the Schweizer 1–26 class with 700 aircraft completed and flown between 1954 and 1981. Schweizer Aircraft principal Paul A Schweizer was a proponent of the One-design concept. He intended the company's 1–26 to be the aircraft to establish a one-design class in the United States. He wrote: "The true measure of pilot ability and experience

1972-483: The boats are virtually identical except in details. At the same time, the formula setup allows the boats to differ much more in design while keeping a few important specifications the same. As a result, the identifier "One design" has been used more and more exclusively to denote a class that races only identical boats. Having a rigid one-design specification keeps design experimentation to a minimum and reduces cost of ownership . The popularity of one-design increased in

2030-414: The championship, with the driver with the most wins ranking highest of those with equal points totals. If there is still a tie, the most second-place finishes, then the most third-place finishes, etc., would be used to split the tied drivers. This count-back system is applied at all stages of the championship. One estimate puts the cost of running a Formula Two car at $ US 3 million per season. In most cases,

NASCAR is much in the same boat, with three distinct bodies (Chevrolet, Ford and Toyota) and four distinct engines ( Hendrick , ECR , Roush Yates , TRD ) available in competition. Additionally, while IndyCar cars are all virtually identical Dallara DW12 models, the two distinct engine designs available from Chevrolet and Honda prevent IndyCar from being

2610-403: The hull length overall (LOA) exceeds 27 feet (8.2 m), people generally refer to the boat as an offshore one-design boat or yacht. In other classes, the one-design class may have organized around an existing fleet of similar boats that traditionally existed together often for commercial purposes such as sailing canoes, dhows , and skipjacks , or boats that developed a common hull form over

2668-523: The keel. Cutter rig with 6 ft bowsprit. Designed by H. W. White, ten were built in 1895/6 by Messrs. White Brothers of Itchen Ferry, Southampton and another twelve were built in the following year. The class enjoyed ten years of keen racing but the Metre Rule, which was introduced in 1907 effectively killed the class. The only boat still afloat is Rosenn, formally Eilun, sail number 6. Now, fully restored, she has been identified as meriting inclusion in

2726-406: The majority of costs must be paid by the drivers themselves. This may be through personal sponsorship or personal or family wealth. These costs, as well as the costs of competing in more junior categories, represent a major barrier to drivers reaching Formula One. A number of cost control measures, including freezing car specifications and reducing the number of venues, were introduced by the FIA for

2784-463: The same manufacturer and suppliers. Typically, this means the same type of chassis, powertrain , tyres, brakes, and fuel are used by all drivers. The idea behind one-make car racing is that success will be based more on driver skill and car setup , instead of engineering skill and budget. One-make series are popular at an amateur level as they are affordable, due to the use of a common engine and chassis. Examples of one-make racing series from around

2842-415: The series uses a 6-speed sequential gearbox configuration with electro-hydraulic operation via paddle-shifters with reverse operated by a button on the steering wheel. The clutches of all cars are supplied by ZF Sachs , with the multi-plate clutch operated by a hand-paddle lever. O.Z. Racing has exclusively supplied wheel rims for all cars since 2005. Until 2019, the wheel size of O.Z. Racing F2 wheels

Brembo supplies monoblock brake calipers and disc bells, which are exclusive to Formula 2. Carbone Industrie also supplies carbon brake discs and pads for the FIA Formula 2 Championship. The brake discs are 278  mm × 28 mm (10.94  in × 1.10 in) in size. The current Dallara F2 2018 's fuel tank carried over

2958-589: The specification is published but the boats may only be produced by licensed manufacturers with usually only one builder in any country or region. Examples are the Olympic Finn and 470 but in both these classes a single manufacturer has succeeded in building faster boats than all other manufacturers. However, in the Optimist dinghy, one of the world's largest classes, a tighter specification introduced in 1995 /with ongoing scrutiny has resulted in boats from
